    This really ticked all the boxes, a beautiful location along the river providing some peace and quiet which is rare for Weligama. The family who run it are so kind and helpful. Really recommend.

    A small fridge and tea coffee facilities would improve the set-up, although they happily let us use their fridge and brought trays of tea up for us.

    Riverside location a close walk to the beach and town Friendly family run place. Use of their kitchen fridge was handy. Excellent breakfasts served in "the boat," a floating pontoon on the river. Comfortable good-sized room and bathroom and balcony with river view. The pedestal fan as well as air-conditioning was usedul. Plenty of drying space with 2 racks provided. Nice ambience including sounds from the nearby Buddhist temple.

    This has been our absolute favorite stay in Sri Lanka. The host family went above and beyond to take care of us, making us feel truly at home. At times, it felt as though we were part of their family. The rooms were spotless, and the property features a charming floating deck overlooking the river, where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner with a stunning view. We even spotted a huge crocodile from there! The lady who lives there also created beautiful hand-crafted souvenirs for us to take home for our friends. We would highly recommend this place 10/10, and look forward to returning someday!

    Everything was perfect! We went surfing in the morning and the host let us went back to our room to take a shower. The room was big, the kindest host I’ve ever met in Sri Lanka, nice location, walking distance to the beach and also the delicious breakfast was 10/10! The food was so good so we decided to have lunch here as well and of course we enjoyed it a lottt. :)))

    Everything was great

    It is a beautiful hotel in a calm part of weligama. It is so calm that in the mornings you can spot monkeys in the trees next to the balcony. As well as squirrels , beautifully coloured birds and peacocks ! The rooms are very spacious and have a big bathroom. There's also an indoor seating part in front of the room . Breakfast is really good and healthy and can be taken on the flooting terrace while overlooking the sunrise over the river. Truly magical . Beach is only 10 min walk away. And not to forget : the beds are extremely comfortable! If asked, the owner will arrange airport transfer or other taxi services!

    A very big room and bathroom with loads of space for our luggae. Every room has its own small porch with a table a chairs overlooking the beautiful garden and the river. The location was very convenient as well, very quiet, but only 10 min walk from the surfers beach and the restaurants. A great place to chill. They offer laundry cleaning services and scooter rental too :)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, we have been travelling around Sri Lanka and this was our favourite stay. It was beautiful by the river where you could enjoy your breakfast! We had a delicious smoothie bowl most mornings and also had eggs, toast and fruit another morning. The room was sooo clean and a very large room with a nice balcony to sit and relax. I read some reviews about mosquitoes but we didn’t see any, we didn’t even use the mosquito net provided. The hosts are super friendly and helpful! Their dogs are another bonus, they are so friendly, playful and soft. I would recommend this place to anyone

    Mosquitoes. The latch on our door was broken, so we couldn't just pull it too - this was a bit tricky with the mosquitoes around.

    We enjoyed our stay here, the room is nice and spacious, the bed was really comfortable, air con worked, nice spacious bathroom. Breakfast was good and the setting was lovely - right on the river. There was water refill and we were able to use the kettle in the kitchen which was nice.

    Beware of mosquitos when sitting outside, close to the river.

    This was by far the best place I stayed in Sri Lanka: spacious room, clean bathroom, excellent WiFi and great breakfast. And location.

    Every room has it's own terrace with a lounger, chairs and table which is perfect to spend the hot hours of the day in the shade. Rooms are equipped with AC and fan and are spacious and cozy. Beds have a mosquito net so you can have a peaceful sleep. The beach is a little more than 5min walk from the property. We enjoyed that the guesthouse was right next to the river where we saw some birds and wildlife. Breakfast varies and is a good start for the day. We booked for one night and stayed ten, because we liked everything so much.

    The location is great. Cozy jungle garden, quiet and peaceful. A lot of shadow, good to spend time on the terrace. The room is nice and clean, spacious. The bad is comfortable, air conditioner works properly, blackout curtains. Few minutes from all the places you may wanna visit in weligama (2-7 mins by bike or 7-15 by foot). The owner and his family works there and they are extraordinary hospitable and cheerful. You literally feel the warm they share greeting you sincerely every day.

    Everything! we booked one night and liked it so much stayed 3. All the family were so helpful and welcoming, helping us arrange transport and cooking delicious breakfasts! Answering all our queries and super responsive. We had a large, cool, spacious, family room with a terrace overlooking the river. the aircon worked really well and we also had a fan. the beds were large and comfy, the bathroom was also large and everything was spotlessly clean. it was really peaceful having breakfast on the floating platform, lots of interesting nature to see as well daily life going by on the nearby road. Thank you to Ravindu and all the family for a brilliant stay!
